A STRIKING CONTRAST
This from "Every Week," a New
York Journal, not only emphasizes
German atrocity, but pays a fine tribute
to the soldiers of the Southern
Confederacy: "What warfare is depends
upon the men who make it.
Contrast the Germans in Belgium
with the record of the Army of Northern
Virginia. It invaded Pennsylvania
and occupied it twenty-one
days, fights a great battle, or rather
a series of baitles and returns to
Virginia, leaving no trace of violence
or rapine behind it. None of the
citizens are harmed. Their homes,
their farms, their villages are immune
from injury. We look in vain
ior me iron nooi ot war in the country
trodden by the army of Northern
Virginia." The army of Lee was composed
of Southern gentlemen fight
ing for what to them was a great and
patriotic principle. The Overman ar
my is an army of conquest, led on b>
the Kaiser, to whom civilized warfare
is an unknown quantity. He
makes brutes of his soldiers by giving
them license to pillage the homes
of the country they invade, putting
little children to death and inflicting
upon the women and girls punishment
worse than death. Is it any
wonder that the people of the United
States are united as one man to raise
millions of dollars and a vast army
to fight an enemy whose very existence
is a menace to civilization, to
humanity, to religion and to all that
is dear to the hearts of enlightened
men and women.
AMERICA IS PATRIOTIC
A press dispatch indicates that
New York went far above its allotment
of the Liberty loan assessment
New York is the great money center
of America and it is gratifying to
know that the spirit of patriotism
controls the millionaires as well as
the common people.
It is a fact that all true Americans, ?
the rich and the poor alike, have
subscribed generously to the Liberty
loan. The fires of patriotism are ^
burning brightly in cottage and man- ^
sion all over this land of the free.
Millions of young men going to the
front are backed by millions of dol- rlars
from the fathers and mothers .
and friends of the boys "over there."
No less than seventeen million
a*
people bought bonds in the last issue, p
AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT . f|
One of the most notable tributes t<
ever given to any man was that con- yt
tained in a speech delivered in Wash- ri
ington by Colonel Josiah Wedge- hi
wood, of the British army. fs
Senator Ilallis, of New Hampshire, a
who heard the speech, quoted this tt
remarkable extract, while addressing y
the United States Senate: It
He said, "The only thing which s<
keeps the British labor loyal to this tl
war is its faith in President Wilson; ir
that the greatest asset England has u
in the United States?greater than y
money, supplies, or troops?is Presi- st
dent Wilson. It is too much to ask y*
of the members of the United States la
Senate the same faith in Woodrow tf
Wilson that Col. Wedgewood and the ol
r.ngush working men feel, but if we ki
an not all trust in him implicitly ti
let us at least grant him such pow- v(
ers as are obviously necessary to T
help him win the war, and let us do th
it in a spirit that will not impair, at to
least, the confidence placed in him by th
our brothers in arms across tlx- seas." th

THE LU
RESIDENT WILSON MAKES
APPEAL FOR RED CROSS
(Continued from first page)
y?this is a war to save the world,
nd, your relation to the Red Cross
one of the relations which will reeve
you of the stigma. You can't
ive anything to the government of
le United States?it won't accept it.
"There is a law of congress against
ccepting even services without pay
he only thing that the government
ill accept is a loan and duties per
>rmed, hut it is a great deal betlei
) give than to lend or to pay, and
our channel for giving is the Ame
can Red Cross. Down in youi
eart you can't take very much satis
iction in the last analysis in lending
miii-v to thi? iriivi>rnmpnt nf tVio ITn:
>d States, because the interest which
uu will draw will burn your pockets
, is a commercial transaction and
>me men have even dared to cavil at
?c rate of interest, not konwing thi
icidental commentary that consti
ites upon their attitude. But wher
ou give something of your heart
>mething of your soul, something ol
ourself goes with the gift particu
irly when it is given in such form
at it never can come back by wa>
f direct benefit to yourself. You
now there is the old cynical difinion
of gratitude, expectation of fairs
to come in this kind of giving,
hese things are bestowed in order
lat the world may be a titter place
i live in, that men ni??y be succoreo,
lat homes may be restored; tha
ic face of the earth may have the
ight of destruction taken away
om it, and that wherever force
?es, there shall go mercy and helpilness.
"And when you give absolutely all
at you can spare arid don't consid1
yourself liberal in the giving. If
>u give your own vanity, but if
?u give until it hurts then your
art blood goes into it.
"And think what we have here.
re call it the American Red Cross,
it it is merely a branch of a great
ternational organization which is
>t only recognized by the statutes
r the civilized governments of the
orld but it is recognized by interitional
agreement as the recognizI
and accepted instrumentality of
ercy and succor. And one of the
>epest stains that rests upon the
[ rman army is that they have not
spected the Red Cross.
"That goes to the root of the matr.
'lhey have not respected the
strumentality that they themselves
irticipated in setting up as the
ing which no man was to touch
cause it was expression of common
imanity. We are members, by beg
members of the American Red
ross of a Kreat fraternity and comdeship
which extends all over the
r>rld an?i this cross which these laes
wear today, is an emblem of
firistianity itself.

gentlemen to think of women all over
. this country who are busy tonight
, doinjj: the work of the Red Cross
Busy with a ^reat eagerness to find
out the most serviceable tiling to do,
busy with a forpetfulness of all the
old frivolities of their social relationships,
ready to curtail the duties of
the household in order that tbev mau
contribute to this common work that
all their hearts are engaged in, and
in doing which their hearts become
, acquainted with each other. When
I you think of this you realize how the
people of the United States are being
drawn together into a great intimate
family whose heart is being used for
the service of the soldiers not only
but for the service >f civilians, where
( they sulfer and are lost in a maze of
distress and distraction. And you
I have then, this noble picture of justice
and mercy as the two servants
[ of liberty. For only when men are
free do they think the thoughts of
comradeship, only where they artfree
do they think the thoughts or
' sympathy; only where they are free
are they mutually helpful, only
where they are free do they realize
their dependence upon one another
and their comradeship in a common
interest and common necessity.
"I heard a story the other day that i
I was ridiculous but it is worth re-1
,! pouting because it contains the verm
, of truth. An Indian enlisted in the
army. He returned to the reservation
on a furlough. He was asked
what he thought of it. He said 'No
much >;ood; too much salute; not
much shoot." Then he was asked |
'are you back?' 'Yes.' 'Well, I
do you know what you are fighting
for?' 'Yes, me know, fijrht to make j
whole damn world democratic party.',
He had evidently misunderstood some
innocent sentence of my own.
"But after all, although there is j
no party purpose in it, he tfot it ri^ht
as far as the word 'party'?to make
the whole world democratic in the;

and of purpose and if you ladies and
jfenilemen could read some of the
touching dispatches which come
through official channels, for e^en j
through these channels there come i
voices of humanity that are infinite-!
ly pathetic. If you could catch some j
of those voices that speak the utter (
longing of oppressed and helpless!
peoples all over the world, to hearj
something like the battle hymn of |
the rebuplic, to hear the feel of the
great hosts of liberty going to set
them free, to set their minds free,!
set their lives free, set their children
free you would know what comes
into the heart of those who are trying
to contribute all the brains and
power they have to this great enter- J
prise of liberty. I summon you to
the comradeship; I summon you in
this next week to say how much and
how sincerely and how unanimously
you sustain the heart of the world."

Mart* your liver without making you
ick and cannot salivate ]
Kvery druggist in town?your i
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling off in the 1
sale of calomel. They all give the i
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone |
is taking its place. I
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone 1
it perfectly safe and give better re- t
suits," said a prominent local drug- c
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per- j
sonally guaranteed by every druggist t
who sells it. A large bottle costs but <
a few cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness
and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back. *
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant- *
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, ^
harmless to both children and adults. "
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine: no biliousness, sick hear!
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience
all the next day like vio- 1
lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow you will I
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't '
lose a day's work! Take Dodson's t
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full _
of vigor and ambition. Adv. 5.
